About Singapore Star

The Surprise of Asia

News portal for Singapore, a tiny nation on the southern tip of the Malaysia peninsular in Southeast Asia.

The country’s motto is: “Majulah Singapure” (Onward Singapore)

An independent publication in a city-state country where most news media has links to the government, Singapore Star has been reporting the news since 2004 covering the fourth-biggest financial centre, and one of the five busiest ports in the world.

Singapore Star, which has the masthead slogan The Surprise of Asia provides news from around the Asia Pacific region as well as Singapore news.

It also generates news from around the world, and from the Singapore Star global business desk.

Mission: Singapore Star was conceived in 2002 to provide up-to-the minute local news, together with international headlines as part of a global network pooling resources to deliver a quality service to member portals. Each online publication has been modelled on a newspaper format for familiar readability by users. The locations forming part of the network were selected on the basis of demand for news for that location. Singapore Star, an online newspaper, provides coverage of the city-country, Southeast Asia and Asia generally. International news, business and finance stories are common across the network of sites, and are drawn from a number of sources including original in-house journalists and wire services.

Singapore Star and the other sites are administered by Midwest Radio Network.
